Speedily will be published (by Order of the Directors), A BRIEF and DISPASSIONATE APPEAL to the MEMBERS on the SUBJECT of the MEA SITRES CONNECTED with the MEETINGS lately held at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, London. . 4 * For more than 21 years this Society has hveu extending itself oscr various parts of Great Britain and Ireland, art ,1 the Directors have been long accustomed to rec ire the most sa tisfactory testimonies from the insured, as to the manner which losses !lave trees adjusted, and the general concerns of the Institution carried on. L► London, however, where the Society's Business (at least to any extent is comparatively of recent date, much dissatis faction has lately been fomented, and the measures pursued by the complaining parties have excited the attention of the Members throughout the kingdo►n. A respectable London Coomittee being now occupied in the investigation of the Society's cemcerns in that diistrict, under the express sanction of the Directors, they have been unwilling in any manner to anticipate the Report of that Committve. But the time of its publication being uncertain, and the Members throughout the country having earnestly requested official information on the late transactions in town, the Directors feel that this is no more than they are entitled to, independently of any measures that may be in progress respecting the Metropolis and its vicinity. Under these circumstances (and especially since the George and Vulture Committee has issued a Report) the Board Ills determined to publish such a statement as may be calculated to meet the wishes of the Country Members, in doing which, they will, for the present, exclude from their consideration the unsettled claims in the London district, or if it should be found needful to allude to them, it will be done no further than may be unavoidable for conveying to the general body of insurer: the information they desire.

As there is a . disposition in human nature to rely upon the asseverations of those who, in their dying moments, assert their innocence of imputed crimes, and as such is . the effect of What has been deemed. the confession of this Culprit; the Public are highly indebted to the Gentleman, who, in the following Letter, which appears in The Times of this day, has examined all the circumstances of the horrid transaction with great sagacity, and. has supported his inferences• with such powerful - argunients as can leaVe no doubt upon any rational mind that Hussey, and'Hussey 'alone,„watr_the Murderer : The Prn*. priidncid aEainst this tr izibrairr*rtiati; upon his !rial for the murder of Mr. Bird and his hon.ekeeper, were so conclusive, that no person Who Wt t s present could doubt the justice of the verdict. The Jutiae, the Jury, the specotors, !he Counsel for the prisoner and aeninst him, all kit the Court impressed with one common feeling of his guilt. The public mind has snbsequently been dis quieted by tx hat has falsely been called the Con fession of Charles Hussey ; and by the doubts of those who, not forming their judgment upon the evidence collectively, have s!.ized upon detached parts, and drawn their conclusions, as if the proofs rested upon single ciicumstanc e s, an d not upon the general tendency of the whole. With a 0)01..110) conviction upon my own mind that Charles Hussey was the very murderer of Mr. Birth and not a mere accomplice, let me re (pest your readers to weigh attentively the fact established upon the trial, compressed into as nar row a compass as possible ; and, having formed their judgment upon the testimony of (he wit nesses, let them determine how far the declara tion of the convict weakens or corroborates that judgment. I►► vases like the present, direct evidence of the hand that struck cannot he looked for. It is nei ther. in the broad face of day, nor in the presence of lookers on, that the murderer, in common, perpetrates his crime. But a chain of circum stances will often fix the guilt with equal cer tainty upon the criminal, and the very artifices he uses for concealment will sometimes betray him. Mr Rini's house, upon the murder being di , . covered, was "most accurately examined, not by one person only, but by many ; and it appeared impossible that the murderer could have entered the house in any other way than by the street• door,- andands itasps equally evident that- admission had not been obtained by violence, for the back door was bolted en the inside, the shutters ail fastened on the inside, and no mark of breakiite, or of iiny instrument having been used Vo force en entrance, was discoverable. The side gate was also chained and padlocked It was proved by Hannah Cooper, 'that on Sa turday evening, the 7th February, at 20 minutes or halt an hour after eight o'clock", 'he house epet was seen standing inside Mt. Bird's house talking with a person at the dour, and that Mr. Bird was lertnng forward from ti►e parlour. The time is distinctly marked, for the clock struck 8 as Hannah Cooper lett her house on the . Wool wich-road, and, it being a very foggy night, she walked slowly, and can speak with precision to he time. In the hail, where the body of Mary Simmons was found, was a candlestick with a whole candle in it, which seemed to hive been-lighted but for a short time, and to have gone out again. A quantity of blood had flowed from her wounds, round the head, in the spot where it then lay : and near the door was another pool of blood, as it the body had been removed from .the place where it fist fell, and which, had it continued to he there, would have prevented any person, in tending to go out at the hall door, from opening that door, without at t-be same time moving :be body. The maid had vomited very much in the hall. Although the bureau where Mr. Bird kept his cash and papers had been ransacked, a private drawer, containing bank-notes, had been over looked. It was proved upon the trial, that a consider able quantity of property belonging to Mr. Bird, and which had been seen in the house a very sln,rt time before the murders, was in the pri soner's possession, and in the same box where a ',Art of this stolen property was found, were clothes of the prisoner's stained with blood. One pair of gaiters, identified as the prisoner's, were not only stained with spots of blood, but very much marked with splashes of vomiting. The prisoner absconded. Upon his apprehension be fabricated a long story, to iniince a belief that he found the property, bi t t this story was coutrat!ieted in every part by accurate witnesses. lie attempted to account for himself from the morning of the Saturday when the murder was perpetrated till the afternoon of Sunday ; but all the witnesses he relied on to prove his being at the Tiger's Head at the time the murder was committed, affirmed, that the earliest time they could fix hint there was at a quarter past nine. It was proved that Charles Hussey was engaged to dine with his brother, Thomas Hussey, at Peck ham, at one o'clock on the Sunday when the mur der was discovered ; he did not go there till the evening, but kept loitering about Greenwich ; and when his brother asked him ‘i by he did not come to dinner, his reply was, that there had been a horrible murder committed in Greenwich, vt hich had made the town like a fair, and that had pre vented him; whereas, to dine with his brother tit [PRICE SEVENPENCE. Peckham at one o'clock, he must have set nit at least an hoar berme she murder was d►scovered. It %%as therefore evident that he must have had a ;ni►!y knowledge of the murder, and that the rea son he gave could not have been the cause of his not going to dine with hip brother. • The man_at whose house Hussey kept his clothes had, about a fortnight before the murder, lost a cooper's hammer, and with But h a hammer, in the judgment of several surgeons, were both the Mur ders perpetrated. This very instrument was found in a pond close to the place wbere Hussey's box was kept, close to the lane where he said he found the bundle, and close to the coath-house of his former master, and from which he halt been in the habit of getting water for cleaning his master's Had another person been the murderer, he must first have stolen the hammer from L •I ton's, and atterwatds, by chance, deposited it, re it would rorm one link of trelsaiwoVerrcum , titheeS too con-. fleeted to be all the etft.c , accident. These were some u.f the principahlreticitstanees of the e vidence upon which the verdict of wilful tnureer wa, giver, againsi ChArles Hussey. Many minor circumstances gave additional strength to the more prominent feat• res ut the case, which it is the less necessity to dwell upon now, because a confirmation of the leading facts.are to be round in flus,ey's declaration ; fur he allows that 'his very hammer was used in the perpetration of the minders, that he threw it into the pond w, here it was found, that he was cognizant of the mur-, tiers, and that his gaiters became morked,)Fith. tdood and vomit, in the bail where the body. of Mary Simmons was found murdered. Ti'e defence which he set up upon his trial had been anticipated on the part of the prosectrion,. and shown by witnesses to be f a lse in all its parts. Thus when he stated the time he went 'to the Tiger's Head Club, as being 7 or 8 o'cloCk i , he ' was contradicted by the evidence of those who were present. When he stated that on the Sunday he went from his washerwoman's directly to Letton's, after dinner, and that it was then four o'clock, the washerwoman herself stated that it vas only t WO. When be said that he saw the person get over , the wall at fonr,,and that he afterwards went and hid the bundle, whet, must hive taken some time, he was contridkted by Lettou, ivho stated that it was not more than half -past three, or twe nty mi nutes to tour, when Hussey was conversing with When he asserted that he did not see the pieces of buckle belonging to Mr. ilirdn, 'which were tound in his posse.sion, till 'he Sa. orally ibti - flitirder, Thomas Hulsey proved it to'have fallen front his pocket on the Monday preceding.. When he would haie shown that the stains of blood on his clothes were from a wound received by Hazleton in getting over the wall, it tui IRA out that he had not on the same clothes when Hazle ton got his wound. , The extravagance of Charles Hussev's declara tion is manifest in every sentence. Considering the character of the man, and his conduct upon this horrible assassination, it is not, I trust, a de ficiency of common charity in me to feel, that his ,Tatement, as exculpating him from the actual murder, is totally unteorthy of credit. I-le admits, " that he planned the robbery, and proposed it to two other persons ; on the very day of its being agreed neon they met, hut did nothing that evening ; that a eek afterwards they met again, and Hassey (by his own account the chief actor in the getting op of this tragedy) advised its being proceeded with that eveaing, he having provided a haininer for the purpose of breaking open the door ; that they went all three at half-past eleven, but finding no answer was re turned to the knocking, and a great many people passing and repassing, they became disheartened, and that upon Hussey recollecting tv'oat his washerwoman had said about Mr. Bird's early hours, they gave up the undertaking fur that night." Unless Hussey and his companions went with the determination of rousing Mr. Bird, and inducing hint to give an alarm. the hammer rro vided by Htissey must have been the worst-in strument possible for the purpose he intended it, Inquiry has been made of Hnssey's w4sherwo. man, who denies positively that she had ever any conversation with hint rel,.tive to 31r. Bird, nor did she know there was such a person as Mr, Bird residing in Greenwich. His declaration proceeds to state, " that the three agreed to meet in the Park at a certain spot, and go from thence to Mr. Bird's house, which they accordingly did between eight and nine on the evening of the marder. The plan was, A was to knock at the front door, and 13 to get over or breyk open the side door, and so proceed round to the back window. While this was doing, A was to engage the servant in conversation until such time as he found B had got in ; that B had great difficulty in doing this, but at last did." To those who have seen the premises, the false hood of this part of the account must be palpa ble ; and if Hussey had recollected more arcnriitely the front of Mr. Bird's house, his story probably would have been differently framed. The side-door, which B was to get over, is without any opening at the top, and the wall it shuts into is as high as the second floor of Mr. Bird's house; getting over it, therefore, could never have been a part of the plan; and as, when the murder was discovered, this door was chained and padlocked on the inside, and had not been broken at all, it is quite clear that B did not get it) at the back, while A was keeping the house keeper in conversation at theifrotit door. Be. sides, the absurdity of this plan is self-evident :-- A was to keep the housekeeper in conversatioa
